Hi there. Sorry to say but it does take awhile until they are fully able to put themselves back to sleep. I expected a much shorter time with Molly but in fact it was about a month until we were able to put her down awake and have her go to sleep on her own.
Probably not what you wanted to hear right?? :shock:
No matter how tough it gets though (and there will be days you will feel like giving up) try to keep to it because it is truly amazing the day that you put them down and they go straight to sleep and stay asleep for 2 hours! You will do the dance of joy!! :lol:
One thing to be mindful of though is that from about 4-5 months it is typical of little ones to have 45 minute naps, very frequently! I have read so many posts on here about that age and the 45 minute problem and we have gone through it as well. It lasted about 5 or 6 weeks and now she goes through the 45 minutes on her own (95% of the time) and sleeps an hour and a half or more. Try not to give up at this point or revert to any accidental parenting and you will get through it!
Sounds like you are doing great so far. :lol:
